Eating lunch at our kitchen table. Looking through some of the week’s ads. When I came to this: Read it all

My Info Is Online

Attention: Whoever Sent This Email to Me

This e-mail is to inform you that your E-mail Address has won you the sum of £3,500,000.00 (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling) from the GM LOTTERY. For your payment, you are required to contact our fiduciary agent with the contact details below:

Look, my info is already available online.

It shouldn’t be difficult for you to find a valid mailing address for me.

I know you’ll have to work harder for that information (than if I were to simply email it to you).

But I’ll compensate you handsomely for that little bit of extra work on your part. Just send me 10% of the amount you mention above…and you keep the rest.

I really could use the money, so please don’t delay.

Thank you.

Is there anything lacking in that focus?

(Or maybe the more pertinent questions is, is there anything lacking in my life focus?)

How do they operate in the red like that?

(Or maybe the more pertinent question is, how do I operate in the red?)

And, no, I won’t reveal the name of the organization whose newsletter I scanned for the above images (which you may feel free to click for a larger version).

I look forward to your explanations….
